— KatharinaHonestly brilliant. It’s like a podcast — but for sightseeing. You listen while you’re actually looking at the place. We’ve already booked the Schönbrunn tour for tomorrow. The only thing to fault is that there are only two tours so far.

— FlorianAfter the Kapuzinergruft (imperial crypt) puzzle I had a headache. No, kidding — it was a genuinely cool afternoon. And I’m Viennese myself, but I still learned a ton about my own city. Can only recommend it.

Quest FAQ
Before you set off
How long does the Schönbrunn Quest really take?
Around 2.5 hours, depending on group size, breaks and pace. You can pause whenever you like.
Do I need any background knowledge?
No — the puzzles are built so every clue can be found right on the spot.
Is the Quest wheelchair-accessible?
Mostly yes — every station can be reached. Two things to bear in mind: the park paths are almost entirely gravel, and the climb up to the Gloriette is fairly steep. Wheelchair and stroller users should check the route in advance.
What are the palace park opening hours?
Opening hours vary by season (entry from 6:30 am):
- Jan / Feb
- until 5:30 pm
- Mar
- until 7:00 pm
- Apr
- until 8:00 pm
- May – Jul
- until 9:00 pm
- Aug / Sep
- until 8:00 pm
- Oct
- until 7:00 pm
- Nov / Dec
- until 5:30 pm
What if I get stuck on a puzzle?
Every puzzle comes with two hints. And if you’re still stumped, the solution is always one tap away — nobody gets left behind.
What do I do if the weather’s bad or I don’t finish?
Caught in a downpour? Just pick up where you left off another day.
Can I pause the Quest and continue later?
Yes — once you start, you’ve got 7 days of access from the same device.
Is there a group discount for more than 6 people?
One code covers up to 6 people. For bigger groups (school classes, company outings, family parties), get in touch — we’ll sort something out.
